Smart Managed Pro Switches MS510TX and MS510TXPP Configure Protected Ports If a port is configured as protected, it does not forward traffic to any other protected port on the switch, but it does forward traffic to unprotected ports. Use the Protected Ports Membership page to configure the ports as protected or unprotected. You need read/write access privileges to modify the configuration. To configure protected ports: 1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch. You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable. 2. Launch a web browser. 3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 14. The login window opens. 4. Enter the switch's password in the Password field. The default password is password. The System Information page displays. 5. Select Security > Traffic Control > Protected Port. The Protected Port Membership page displays. 6. In the Ports table, click each port that you want to configure as a protected port. Protected ports are marked with a check mark. No traffic forwarding is possible between two protected ports. 7. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Configure Private VLANs A private VLAN contains switch ports that cannot communicate with each other, but can access another network. These ports are called private ports. Each private VLAN contains one or more private ports and a single uplink port or uplink aggregation group. Note that all traffic between private ports is blocked at all layers, not just Layer 2 traffic, but also traffic such as FTP, HTTP, and Telnet. From the Security > Management Security > Traffic Control > Private Vlan menu, you can access the pages that are described in the following sections: • Configure the Private VLAN Type on page 255 • Configure Private VLAN Association Settings on page 255 • Configure the Private VLAN Port Mode on page 256 Manage Device Security 254 User Manual
